[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So would anyone be supportive of giving at-risk preference over IB students for Pk3 and Pk4 at DCPS, and at every grade for charters and city-wide schools? [/quote] I would. Any loss of opportunity to my kids would be small compared to the benefits to the at-risk kids and the system being more equitable overall. Free preschool for the affluent should not be a thing we spend money on.[/quote] PK3 and PK4 are the major entry years for all the top charters. So you would be boxing out all other families from a chance to get into a charter school. [/quote] There would likely be a cap on number of at-risk students who would gain admission this way (10% minimum and 25% maximum is discussed a lot). The point is to have these students distributed more equitably throughout all schools, not create new clusters of majority at-risk schools. [/quote]
